I turned on a stream last night and this terrible loving rap was playing so I turned it off immediately and went to another persons stream to watch... Then like 15 minutes later I realized the terrible loving rap was actually in game when it started playing on that persons stream :cry:

The rest of the music I heard ranged from bad to not very good, maybe I'm being overly dramatic but this barely has anything I wanted in a Xenoblade sequel.

You're suffering from Final Fantasy VII syndrome where you think that one game you played is what the entire series is like.
You should relax to the theme that plays in your apartment and while customizing your DOLLS.

So what are the odds they're going to change this? Because it's about a hundred times sillier than "dolls"

I think the real big problem with still not having seen/heard the English localization is, we don't know what the memes will be. It's a concern

Well, they already used it in the English E3 trailer last year, so...

No, this game is kind of a confusing mishmash thus far. Soundtrack wouldn't be out of place in a Persona game I guess.

Forget the controversial aspect of this. The worst part is that it is just plain boring and awful looking. Even a lot of skimpy armor in many other RPGs at least has some redeeming value of looking good for what it is. This does not even come close.

Yes, the main big problem with a 13-year-old being topless except for a tiny nipple-blocking harness is the lack of visual appeal.

They needed to be more extreme than Xenoblade in every regard, unfortunately that extended to the fan service outfits as well. Just, don't use them if you don't want to really. I highly doubt they'll make that outfit super high stats.

Looking at it the wrong way.
Gotta talk about something to bridge that projected 6+ month release gap somehow.

I still kinda like the soundtrack, definitely still some jammable tunes but there are certainly some parts of a few songs that just don't work.

Nope she's actually 13. She's also a genius scientist/engineer who works on building the robots and gosh I wish I were making this up.

Well hopefully the choices are vast and undesirable outfits are easy enough to avoid. I really wish that a transmutation system for outfits was a staple in all RPGs.

I've seen some reasonable looking outfits on the girls on a few streams I've watched so it's not gonna be another Sharla situation where she had only like two outfits that weren't fanservicy and more of a minority.

I wonder if they'll do what they did in BD and bump her age to 16 or something for the overseas release though.

It's not like Nintendo is going to keep that outfit for the West. If they changed the outfits in Bravely Default, I can't see them letting that one pass.

That outfit is clearly a Kill la Kill reference, you guys. Also, I really doubt NoA is going to be capable of censoring all the lewd armors in this game, because there are uh, quite a lot of them. I honestly think they'll just slap on an age increase on Lyn and call it a day.

I hope so, they've wasted enough time editing every instance of the word Doll.

That is probably the smartest approach to be honest.

Kill la Kill is terrible.

And really, it's not so much that it's "lewd armor", it's specifically that it's lewd armor on a kid. I just roll my eyes at the rest of the bizarre and incongruously-sexual armor, but this specific instance is a bit messed up.

Yeah and it doesn't change per character, other than for gender, hence the current issue at hand.

I heard someone say Elma is the main character and the PC is Vaan and Penelo. Can anyone who has been watching streams confirm/deny?

I'm sad that this game doesn't have the future sight thing from Xenoblade, that was a really cool mechanic.

Ehhh that's still up in the air. Your MC is definitely more important than Vaan and Penelo though, for various spoilery reasons.
